►SCRIPT
The key though to drop mixing is timing, and knowing where to stop your previous song, and where to start your next song.
And it can be done by either pressing the play/pause buttons or using your volume faders or crossfader.
Anyway with that said, let’s start with the first lesson which is Chorus Drop Mixing
So this is a technique typically done by EDM superstars to keep the energy of the mix going. And this technique works best for EDM, House, Trap, Dubstep and the like.
Anyway it works by shifting songs 4 beats before their drop section. And this section in particular, is usually the part where they do a 4 beat countdown before the drop. So the first thing you want to do is cue point your songs. So we’ll cue point both songs’, 4 beats before their drop section
Now, the cue point A on the first song, will just be our visual cue point to shift songs. And the cue point A on the second song will be the section where we’ll trigger and play it.
So, here’s how we do it.
With both volume faders all the way up, we’ll play the first song then wait till it reaches its cue point A section, then once we reach it, at the same time. We’ll lower its volume fader, then trigger and play the next song via its cue point A section.
The next technique is pretty similar to the first one, but this time, we’ll be mixing at the breakdown sections of songs to help smoothen our transitions.
So like the first technique, the first step here is to cue point our songs, but this time, we’ll cue point them at their breakdown section. And this section is a section that usually follows a chorus.
With those positions cue pointed as cue point A, all we have to do now play the 1st song, then once we reach its cue point A breakdown section, we’ll trigger and play the next song via its cue point A breakdown section
Now if you guys wanna enhance and smoothen out your drop mixing. A useful effect that I use is echo. So I’ll activate echo on the song I want to drop mix from, right before it reaches its drop mix section.
Now, the 3rd way involves drop mixing and using the echo effect. And this technique is a great way to transition huge BPM differences, genres and vibes. And a lot of hip hop DJ’s like Jazz Jeff use this technique all the time.
So in this method, we don’t need to cue point our current song, all we have to do is cue point our next song at the section we want it to begin.
So the key to doing this transition is finding a good song with a good intro.
So this technique, works by letting the current song play, and echoing it out at the end of a phrase. Followed by playing the next song via its cue point intro section;
So The first step is to cue point our next song at an ideal intro section. So for Song B, I’ll cue point its beginning
Once that is done, the next step is to simply play the next song, activate an echo effect on it, then either stop or bring down its volume.
Then as the echo tail lingers, play the next song by either drumming it, scratching it, or just triggering it

I'm a pro DJ for 26 years (DJs don't quit, they work on side projects) and even though nothing you said on this video is alien to me, I too have learned a thing or two (like how to improve my since-always terrible baby scratch). You guys deserve to be where you are, you're doing so much for the profession.
Awww thanks for your kind words! While most of my content targeted beginner DJs, I love how guys like you appreciate this kind of videos! Stay awesome!
Carlo is a type of guy that everybody would invite him to the house party 😁
Thats because he would be the dj
True
LOCKDOWN PARTY!!!
For sure... And he's the rare "respectful AF" type! I bet he's the life of a party.
I agree. This guy is great!!!!!!!!
Hey mate, I just want to thank you so so much for all these consistent quality videos. I already knew how to DJ at a very basic level but you've helped me totally up my game over the last couple of years. Sharing all these tutorials and tips for free... legend!
Awww this fills my heart! Thanks for the kind words! I love how my mission to share my knowledge to the community actually helped! This keeps me going!
@@djcarlo what's up 😊 DJ Carlo Atendido fans.
Incase people don't know can hold shift while scrubbing through a song to scrub to the beatgrid and it'll save a lot of time, your welcome!
Thanks for sharing this tip! Woot!
thanks for this man never knew that def came in handy!
Great job with this cannel, man! 4ever grateful 🙏
Carlo the work you put into these videos even down to little things like finding that track what had the 1-2-3-4 and storing as a hot cue just to show us the audience what you mean by 4 beats before is unbelievable pal , you must put some mega time into these tutorials before you let us see them,
A Truly dedicated guy to music and teaching, brilliant stuff keep it up 👍
Love your content , I’ve just got myself a ddj 400 and you’re are great help ,,, so thank you my brother 👌

We appreciate it my man. Keep up the great work
hey man, congrats on the channel! im starting my dj life for funsies and everything i learned came from you (and might aswell keep it coming tho, lol). i think that the biggest reason is that you do your videos on a beginners controller, which makes it more approachable if you know what i mean. thx for your hard work, as soon as my controller arrives, im subbing for sure to make the best out of it!

Thanks for the tips bro.😀
No problem 👍 Any time!
I admire you so much, brother
300k!! congrats dj carlo!!.
Thankkk you for all the support you've given!
Your videos are very informative ! I have a Pioneer DDJ-SB, I'm trying to change my significant skills to becoming a PRO DJ, I've learned that my DJ deck has 2 cue buttons together, I'm pretty sure other DJ deck brands have this too ? I also use Virtual DJ software for mixing (hopefully soon I'll be downloading a new DJ software as I have had VirtualDJ for the last 5 years !) I really admire your hard work to give these tutorials out to beginners, have you ever had experience with music production like making music ?
This video is gold
woohoo!! love it! Thanks!
Love your tutorials man
Glad you like them! I appreciate this!
I love drop mixxing 💕💕 this tricks is good flavor for the mix and for the crowd tnxs foe this i want to learn more godbless u always ser carlo
Ohhh that’s nice to know! Go on and try that technique! Woot!
Back in the 80's drop mixing was called cut mixing and I did that a lot. But with all the effects on controllers and mixers today it's so much more fun.
Indeed! Drop/Cut Mixing is still alive and well today, but I'm so glad the effects make it less abrupt. Embrace technology!
Yow my idol I'm a beginner using ddj200 from Philippines 😊🙏 your all tutorial videos helps me a lot

You and your channel is a pool of treasure. Cant stop watching one after another, and loose tracks of what I watched and what I've learned. I think, I need to slow down, keep written notes, and move forward step by step. 🙏🙏🙏
Love your video editing skills. The prompts and diagrams are really helpful.

tu é o cara mano
Great explanation. For those who are begginers as me, I recommend to decrease the speed of the vídeo, so you can learn better.
Thanks bud! Glad you liked the explanations! Let's see about decreasing the speed. Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you Mixer Miagi
Awesome vid as always! I've noticed that you are using a certain version of "New Rules" with this sick drop. I can't find this particular version anywhere, and it absolutely slaps. Do you mind saying the name of this version?
Galing mo tlga lodi! Thanks for sharing this
A couple of things. I understand why you used cue point A in the video, but when I'm setting visual cue points, I don't use A, B, C or D (1, 2, 3, 4). I used the next 4 (E, F, G & H). I also have a specific color code for visual cue points in Serato. I set all of those to light green so I know in advance what that cue point is for.
I was also going to mention the "Clean echo out" FX as an alternative to straight echo, but you pretty much covered it in the last transition...
Wow! It’s great that you understand what I’m teaching here! I wish you all the best in your mixing!
super helpful
Woot! Woot! Thanks for watching!
Wow amazing 🔥
Yay! Thanks for watching! More amazing videos to come!
Good Job DJ Carlo 🙏

You are very welcome! Thanks for being here!
I always used the last technique "echo drop mixing" when some people request some slower song.. jhehe
I’m always mixing in my bedroom without headphones. If I can’t hear my mistakes than they didn’t happen lol. Great vid as always!
Perfect! LOL! Wish you all the best in your DJing!
that is the best logic I've ever heard
New tricks to add on my skills 🔥🔥🔥👊
That’s cool! Thanks for watching! Glad it helped!
I like the second dropmix. I will go back and review the third one but I think the second one was with that suit my DJ and skills.

Thank you bro
Woot! You’re very much welcome!
Hey! In your video you say exponential, but in some of James Hype’s videos he’s using logarithmic, which is better for sharp cuts? Thanks!
Very well! 👌
Thanks buddy! Hope you learned a lot!

Really good Tutorial
Glad it was helpful! More tutorials soon! Cheers!
Hey, I wanted to say you have amazing content ! Learning so much !! I wanted to ask which filter did you use on the first Mix in the intro? Mi Gente To new rules
That's the echo out effect! Used in conjunction with drop mixing!
i'm usually use chorus drop mixing when the drop is too good to be missed and using breakdown drop mixing too cool down and still trying to learn using echo drop mixing but i find out that i only use it if i want to switch around genre
loved the idea... now I jumped over to watch your RedBull set from about 6years back.. that you should have won
Sehr Geil!
Danke schön John!
Digga du hilfst mir Sooo sehr. Liebe grüsse aus Germany
Beginner here and I’m just wondering, when I got the prompt to update today to 6.1.0 the ‘closing rekordbox’ window wouldn’t close after about 2 hours so I manually downloaded 6.1.0 from the website, then when I tried opening it, it asked me to convert my library and I tried and a window keeps coming up saying error: communication with rekordboxagent failed, every single time even when I try clicking empty library, any idea what to do?
hi been watching your channel for a long time, just got a hercules impulose 500 are your courses any gd for this type of controller.
wenn ich jetzt nur ein einziges wort verstehen würde! trozdem gutes video thx
you are a monster man! 🙃
Aww thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed this!
dope videos man what is the best equipment to buy so i can record my dj sets as a beginner on a. budget thanks
Check out my video on Best DJ Gear! It might point you in the right direction for DJ gear.
any transition ideas for deep house progressive ect ... edm dub and the like have so many ways out of the song yet i have trouble doing anything besides the usually 2 min beat match transition . and drop switch for at breakdowns . other then that haven't even seen any other options from big names ether
Imo, beat matching is way more impressive. Nothing compares to hearing two tracks that you love, lined up and mixing. Not to mention, during those two or more mins, you can always flip the fader to one track or the other for little snippets that sound dope singled out. Decent blends are difficult for many without them using the sync button, which is why I feel many DJs resort to strictly drop mixing entire sets. I know you didn't ask my opinion, but I'll always feel a bad @$$ blend is better than a drop mix, which isn't really a mix anyway, any day. Stay up
you're amazing!! 🎉
thank u so much. ur vids help me a lot while starting out 🤗
You're so welcome! Happy to help you! More tutorials to come!
Bro, I freaking love your channel. I need to make another email to change this name of mine because I know it’s off-putting lol
Haha lol! You're good man!
Man i really want to do djing it looks hella fun with a lot of practice, closest i've ever gotten is fuser
oh that's alright! we all need to go through baby steps!
Man he is so good at DJing when is he going to use his 3000's I can't wait for that video
Helllooo there! My previous video is actually about it! Go check em out!
He hasn’t got the cdj 3000s, look closely that’s a 2000
CDJ3000 are a waste of money.
Stratos Bordeaux they’re literally only $100 more than the current cdj 2000 nexus 2s and you get a heck of a lot more features, watch digital dj tips’ video on them, I’m sure it’ll change your mind :)
@@oisin7644 Still a waste of money compared to Denon. 100 more? They should be 500 less. Technology gets cheaper quickly and they don't have the optical drive which was the single most expensive physical part due to the buffer and isolation system. And they are using 2010 surplus components which even sub-100$ phones moved past 5 years ago such as resistive displays instead of capacitive (no multitouch, no gestures, no accuracy), no scratch resistant glass or SDHC card readers which are hilariously outdated, can only read up to 32Gb SD cards and only FAT32 format. All of this for saving basically nothing. Upgrading to SDXC would cost probably 15 cents per player. They are treating customers like idiots.
Idol dj carlo...
